Giovanni Battista Piranesi Sold at Auction Prices

copperplate engraver, Etcher, b. 1720 - d. 1778

Artist Giovanni Battista Piranesi was born in Mestre, Italy, in 1720. He moved to Rome when he was 20 years old to become a draftsman for the Venetian ambassador, and while he was there, he painted prisons and historical monuments. His works representing the historical architecture of Rome and Greece are the most famous of Giovanni Battista Piranesi's prints.

Artist Giovanni Battista Piranesi went to South Italy in his 50s, and did etchings and drawings of the ancient Greek monuments there. Realistic depictions of temples and ruins using one-point perspective, a technical skill he acquired while training with his uncle, were the subject of many Giovanni Battista Piranesi etchings. He is considered one of the main contributors to the Neoclassical movement, and his prints were still produced in large quantities after his death. You can find architectural prints for sale online at Invaluable to complete any interior design theme.

I, 1994, no. 1014, illustrated Executed circa 1760-69 and published 1800-07, the present work depicts the tomb of Lucanus Plautius from circa 10-14 AD, after whom the adjacent bridge over the river Aniene was named. The view is one of a series of etchings that Piranesi featured in his seminal Vedute di Roma (Views of Rome) that occupied the last thirty years of his life. Piranesi’s popular Vedute, which eclipsed earlier views of Roman landmarks through their dynamic compositions, bold lighting effects, and dramatic presentation, shaped European conceptions of the city. One of the greatest printmakers of the eighteenth century, Piranesi always considered himself an architect. The son of a stonemason and master builder, he received practical training in structural and hydraulic engineering from a maternal uncle who was employed by the Venetian waterworks, and a thorough schooling in perspective and stage design, while his brother, a Carthusian monk, fired the aspiring architect with enthusiasm for the history and achievements of the ancient Romans. Although Piranesi had limited success in attracting architectural commissions, this diverse training was instrumental in establishing his reputation as a graphic artist.
